Kelly got her start posting cover songs on YouTube in 2009. According to a 2013 American Songwriter interview, it was Kelly's fantastic version of Frank Ocean's "Thinkin Bout You" that caught the ear of hotshot music manager Scooter Braun (Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Carly Rae Jepsen, etc.). Braun eventually signed Kelly, and now, she has a recording contract with Capitol Records.
